HogNose Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I thought Orakpo said our alternate was gonna be "crazy"? That's not really crazy. I hope they are true throwbacks like the Steelers 80th. I want the '34 Indian head on the front of the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirMayo21 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Am I the only one hoping they aren't throwbacks? I'm honestly not too sure any of our old uniforms would look good with the updated Nike-style jersey, maybe with the exception of the spear and feather. Fingers crossed they're new uniforms altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spearfeather Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The Indian head jersey would be cool. Those would be really cool. The reason I dont think it will be those however is, the players number must be on the front and back of the jersey. http://www.ehow.com/list_5974548_nfl-rules-player-numbers.html Number SizeAll players' football jerseys must have numbers on both the front and back of the jersey, and these numbers must be at least 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Jerseys also need to have smaller numbers on the upper arms or tops of the shoulders. Some teams have uniforms with numbers on the helmets or on the pants as well, but these are not required. I'm not sure how that would work with the Indian head logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is really no way they could do it unless they replace the current Indian head on the helmet with the '34 version.

SkinsCrushCowboys Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Not sure why there would be a presser scheduled for this, but I know that there is a sweet Redskins Bus that honors this. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/the-redskins-80th-anniversary-bus/2012/05/08/gIQAxTbeAU_blog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That logo reminds me a lot of the one we wore a few years ago with the yellow helmet. I hope to god our 80th anniversary uniforms are nothing like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they're new uniforms altogether. I don't want them to wear throwbacks. We always seem to suck when we wear them, so I associate throwbacks with losing. I just want the normal Skins unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 430pm so only about 5 hours.. Live stream on Redskins.com??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarleap56 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Live stream on Redskins.com??? No not that I am aware. Skins are actually invited a few groups of season ticket holders to pre-view the plans for 80th anniversary along with the uniforms. Media will be present as well so twitter will be the first place the uniforms hit unless skins release info on the www.redskins80th.com right after they are displayed.

thecardiacrll Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The highlight of the event will be the unveiling of the team's 2012 alternate Nike uniforms. The uniforms will blend historical elements from the team's past, with a new-age look for the future. http://www.redskins.com/news-and-events/article-1/Redskins-80th-Anniversary-Kickoff-Tonight/e7771e6c-bda5-42f5-84dd-ba58a1485d10?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21 always Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It would be sweet if the gloves for this uniform formed the redskins spear logo instead of the standard logo that nike has on all the new team gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeski27 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well not that it's specifically uniform related, but the Skins shop now has a bunch of exclusive 80th anniversary swag on sale, some cool shirts and other logo-related stuff: http://store.redskins.com/cart.php?search=80th+anniversary&m=search_results&go2=Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyUtah Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 ^^^^ I would LOVE to see that helmet. I dunno, I'm excited for whatever comes out really. I'll talk myself into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
